It has been a bittersweet year for Justin Bieber fans. While he has brought his iconic era of both music and merch around the globe on the Purpose world tour, fans haven’t had many opportunities to meet and connect with him.

In an understandable effort to take care of his mental health and overall well-being, Justin canceled all of the scheduled meet and greets for the entirety of the tour and officially declared that he was done taking pictures with fans. He even took a break from the emotional exhaustion by temporarily deleting his Instagram account.

In Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower, an upcoming documentary about the work of the people who protect well-known public figures, Justin’s security team discusses how they have helped Justin have his own space and sanity among the uncontrollable crowds that constantly surround him and explain how the fans have been changing as they get older.
